Surgical treatment of proximal femur unicameral bone cysts improves the healing process, and reduces time to activity.
In a study of 37 pediatric patients, the internal fixation group had a cyst area of 1609 mm², compared to 936 mm² in the non-fixation group.
Patients with internal fixation returned to activity significantly sooner, with an average of 5.9 months compared to 7.7 months.
The lack of significant differences in complications indicates both methods are safe for managing cysts.
